Health begins with a decision. The commitment to follow through, in my opinion, is the most important part of any fitness and health journey. There will be rough times and it will require a tremendous amount of discipline. Start by setting goals and tying emotions to how you will feel when you accomplish those goals. While the starting point will look different for everyone, focus on the next right action. Maybe instead of an alcoholic drink and watching tv, it is a cup of tea and a walk. Almost every single person has a good idea of what being healthier looks like. That starting point is simply making a committed decision to change and then define exactly what that looks like for you individually.
Here are a few quick things someone who is just beginning their journey can do. 1) Take a good look at yourself and know you can. 2) Cut out sugary soda and fast food. Most people know this one. 3) Keep a lacrosse or golf ball by the side of your bed and roll out the bottom of your feet before bed and when you get up. Light pressure just enough to massage the tissue which will help your entire body recover while sleeping and function better during the day. 4) Practice meditation. This can be as simple as going for a walk and observing your surroundings or sitting quietly and focusing on breathing in and out. 5) Put reminders around you to remind yourself constantly of your goals and help you make better decisions throughout the day.
